Hidden in plain view

Ray Langley of Sedro Woolley, WA purchased this Greenbrier from Don Arntzen of Bellingham, WA in July, 2007.  Ray purchased #268 from Don at the same time. Don bought the van from Alex Willard, a well-known Corvair guru in the Bellingham area.

Here's what Ray had to say about this van:

"Don bought this van in 1982. He stripped the van to bare metal and repainted it in the original color scheme. Don only put 5000 miles on it, mainly driving back and forth to Idaho for hunting. He had a special hunting dog kennel built for the van that took advantage of the left and right-side doors.

It has been parked for 20 years in his garage, which is right across the street from my parents' house. I didn't even know he owned it! All I had ever seen were three Corvairs that were parked outside his house. Don put an ad on Craigslist in July and when I saw the picture, I realized that I knew the seller. So, I decided to go look at them and the rest is history!"

In early August, 2008, Ray sent the following photos his rare Greenbrier. It looks terrific!
